dataTable with filterBy strange issue

rene.guenther · 17 Feb 2010, 16:54

One of my columns looks like:

<p:column >  
        <f:facet name="header">
            <h:outputText value="#{text['statement.travellerName']}" escape="false"/>
        </f:facet>
        <h:outputText value="#{item.document.recordData.travellerName}" escape="true"/>
    </p:column>

if I add the filterBy:

Code: Select all

   <p:column filterBy="#{item.document.recordData.travellerName}">  
        <f:facet name="header">
            <h:outputText value="#{text['statement.travellerName']}" escape="false"/>
        </f:facet>
        <h:outputText value="#{item.document.recordData.travellerName}" escape="true"/>
    </p:column>

The functionality is there. But the following tags are being added to the HTML source code:

Code: Select all

</body>
</html>
//]]>
</script></form>

That happens right after the regular </form> which is related to my </h:form>. I checked that there is no extra opening <form> in the HTML source code.
I only recognized the issue because of the characters //]]> being displayed at the bottom of the page when it is rendered by the browser.

Do you have any ideas what might cause the issue?

Thanks
Rene

while looking up documentation again, I found

Setting a column filter is as easy as specifying filterBy attribute to true.

I assume that this is outdated? Or am I using filterBy attribute the wrong way?

Oops, documentation does not seem to be updated, I need to fix that, thanks for the heads up.

Rene can you post the whole datatable please?

The reduced xhtml is as follows, I removed everything that is not required and still the issue remains:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html

        "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<f:view>
    <head>
        <p:resources/>
    </head>
    <body>
    <h:form prependId="false">
        <p:dataTable var="item"
                     value="#{referenceFieldTypeList.all}">
            <p:column filterBy="#{item.description}">
                <f:facet name="header">
                    <h:outputText value="description"/>
                </f:facet>
                <h:outputText value="#{item.description}"/>
            </p:column>
        </p:dataTable>
    </h:form>
    </body>
</f:view>
</html>

I am using myfaces-1.2.8 with facelets.

It might be a myfaces compatibility problem, in myfaces there're some problems with handling CDATA rendering, mojarra handles it better. There are eve some code in PrimeFaces to workaround these issue but I can't figure out the reason for this case.

Rene is that possible for you to try with Mojarra instead of MyFaces? Would that require much work?
